Characterizing the spatio-temporal evolution of networks is a central topic in many disciplines. While network expansion has been studied thoroughly, less is known about how empiri…
A network model of conviction-driven social segregation
Gianluca Teza, Samir Suweis, Marco Gherardi +2
In order to measure, predict, and prevent social segregation, it is necessary to understand the factors that cause it. While in most available descriptions space plays an essential…
Zipf and Heaps laws from dependency structures in component systems
Andrea Mazzolini, Jacopo Grilli, Eleonora De Lazzari +3
Complex natural and technological systems can be considered, on a coarse-grained level, as assemblies of elementary components: for example, genomes as sets of genes, or texts as s…

Arianna Bottinelli, Remi Louf, Marco Gherardi
The costs associated to the length of links impose unavoidable constraints to the growth of natural and artificial transport networks. When future network developments can not be p…
Hard and soft bounds in the evolution of Ubuntu packages. A lesson for species body masses?
Marco Gherardi, Salvatore Mandrà, Bruno Bassetti +1
Open-source software is a complex system; its development depends on the self-coordinated action of a large number of agents. This study follows the size of the building blocks, ca…
